A hoof (/ËhuËf/ or /ËhÊf/), plural hooves (/ËhuËvz/ or /ËhÊvz/) or hoofs /ËhÊfs/ , is the tip of a toe of an ungulate mammal, strengthened by a thick, horny, keratin covering. The hoof consists of a hard or rubbery sole and a hard wall formed by a thick nail rolled around the tip of the toe.The weight of the animal is normally borne by both the sole and the edge of the hoof wall.Hooves grow continuously, and are constantly worn down by use. Most even-toed ungulates (such as sheep, goats, deer, cattle, bison and pigs) have two main hooves on each foot, together called a cloven hoof.he hoof consists of a hard or rubbery sole and a hard wall formed by a thick nail rolled around the tip of the toe. The weight of the animal is normally borne by both the sole and the edge of the hoof wall.
Many hoofed mammals live in grasslands and savannahs. Ungulates have evolved features that are adaptive for life on open grasslands, in particular long legs to increase running speed. To lengthen the legs, ungulates evolved digitigrade locomotion: that is, they walk on their toes.The hoof of a horse or cow is anatomically an enlarged toe.Artiodactyls such as deer, sheep, and goats walk on two toes; perissodactyls walk either on three toes (rhinos, tapirs, some extinct horses) or on one toe (living horses).ngulates have evolved features that are adaptive for life on open grasslands, in particular long legs to increase running speed.
